Model progression

Comparison of board sizes. the furthest one is 49x49 (cm), I find it fairly small and crowded especially for the space it will be displayed. The larger size is an A1 board which doesn't look crowded and is still a reasonable scale to work to.
















Rural Landscape Model
Paper mache to help form the shape. Over this will go some 'scenery maker' sort of like a layer of plaster of paris. Than I can add all the fine details like grass, trees etc.
















City landscape
Closeups on the City Landscape.

Model Progress

MODEL 1
A few more buildings, taking longer than I thought as im trying to get them quite 'clean cut'.

















I thought the building shapes werent to sci-fi/futuristic looking, so im starting to look at architecture used in the Sci-fi program 'Stargate Atlantis'. The city is of an advanced race which existed before humans (so the storyline goes).













MODEL 2
This will be a rural landscape which will be hilly. The picture below shows the base with contours cut out.

New idea

Thinking about making small 'cityscapes' out of model people, trees and other objects. To conpliment the main models.

Model One taking shape.

Materials

Small people (about 45mm) and smaller people (20mm), originally was going to use these in the main models, but having second thoughts.















More materials to be added soon.

Style of Final Models

To help give a better idea of the finished models. Sorry for low Quality pics.

‘RPM-1200’ by Chu Enoki

Simply amazing, an entire futuristic city scape made entirely out of drill bits!

Wish I had seen this earlier< would have loved to have done something as inticate as this.

LI like the way all the all the drill bits have been carefully placed together, but with dim lighting to give an eerie and haunting  mood.

FMP Proposal

Background
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For some time I have had a deep and genuine interest in architecture. It could have quite possibly have been my ‘career’ route, Had it not been for my dislike at the idea of having to do a couple more years of physics and maths at A level.

A fan of sci-fi and general human development and social commentary, I’m interesting in developments in the modern world. Initially this FMP started off little more than that, my opportunity to play around with sci-fi fantasies. However, my research and contemplation led me take a much deeper turn.

Research
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following areas will greatly influence my project.

* Science fiction
* Architecture History + General Art History (particularly Futurism)
* Human Nature
* Modern Ideologies

Development
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Technological, medical and other scientific advances are often attributed to changing landscapes and architectural progress. I disagree, I believe that architectural design and ‘progress’ is influenced (as is much else) primarily by human ideology and nature.

I am especially intrigued by how most architecture embodies ambition and aspiration, overtime it falls at decays partially due to weaknesses that we don’t control but also due to human nature.

I have envisaged my final piece as being along the lines of clean cut 3D white buildings pieced together with dull, decayed or messy 2D representations of Human Nature.

Deliverables
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 3D Installation – Reflecting aspirations and ambition undercut by negative human nature.

Series of prints – Reflecting human nature

Sketchbook – Analysed research as well as wide-ranging development and experimental work.
